Five star service every time. Expect the best, get the best, every time. Did I mention fair pricing………every time. Nothing is more frustrating than to return your car to the mechanic the next day because it wasn’t fixed. I’ve been there. Not at Ulmers, in - out fast with a free loaner….. wait for it…….every time. Thanks guys, David Stricker

Had an issue with another place for oil change, they said that something was cracked and they would not be able to perform the service. Ulmer's looked it over and confirmed that they couldn't find anything wrong with it and recommended just to go ahead with the oil change. I wouldn’t consider going here for oil changes if it didn't take so long. If I have anything greater than an oil change though, I will definitely be using them again.

Ulmers is great; good, honest, fast service. I was visiting family in town when my car battery died. I couldn’t find a shop nearby with the battery I needed until I reached out to Ulmers. They had it in stock, the price was fair, they got the work done in a couple of hours & even made a suggestion for an engine repair to have done when I got back home. They also pointed out that the battery AAA put in a couple of years ago was not appropriate for my vehicle, so now I know how to check future replacement batteries are done correctly.

We have used Ulmer's Auto for many years (35+) -- back to when they only had one shop on Salem Rd. They are honest, efficient, effective, knowledgeable and friendly.

This is my 1st service experience with Ulmer’s and it exceeded my expectations. Phil went above and beyond. Extended test drive and in-depth consultation on the recommended repairs for our 2015 Highlander with 205k. He has helped our 2004 Lexus as it still a daily driver with 350k. It is truly nice to have someone that you TRUST nowadays to help make informed decisions and be a true partner. Looking forward to bring 3 other Lexus/Toyota vehicles to you in near future.

Ulmers is the best, we trust them to tell us what is wrong, and the best approach to fixing it. They have easily extended the life of several vehicles we have had over the years. My current vehicle had a service agreement with a local dealership, but as soon as that ended, we brought it to Ulmers for a bumper to bumper. My car is driving like it is brand new again and we look forward to having Ulmers take care of it going forward!

I love that when I bring in my car for even something small like an oil change, they assess the full car and make suggestions, with photos, of what to fix. Then they allow me to decide whether or not to fix it.
